        <p>
            <MadCap:keyword term="FTP site" />Every system (computer) on the Internet has an official host name and 
 IP address. To connect to an FTP site, you must find out the official 
 name or address of the site.</p>
        <p>For example, to get the name or address of a popular FTP site, use a 
 search engine such as Google.com or Yahoo.com to search for the name. 
 Or, try replacing the "www" portion of the organization's URL 
 with "ftp", for example replace www.ipswitch.com with ftp.ipswitch.com. 
 Or simply call the company and ask for the name of their FTP site.</p>
        <p>Or, if you want to connect to an FTP site maintained by your Internet 
 Service Provider (ISP), your ISP will provide you with an FTP name or 
 address that looks something like: ftp.wsftpnet.com or 156.50.3.1.</p>
